Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked a bipartisan delegation of U.S. Congress members for their support for Israel at a meeting in Jerusalem on Thursday.

Organized by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the group included Mike Bost (R-Ill.), Rep. Jen Kiggans (R-Va.), Jake Ellzey (R-Texas), Don Davis (D-N.C.) and Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.).

Netanyahu “thanked the delegation members for their consistent support for the State of Israel, and said that Israel is the model of a true ally,” according to the office of the prime minister.

Mark Waldman, senior vice president of AIPAC, and Cameron Brown, director of AIPAC Israel, also took part in the meeting.

“These allegations are so deeply disturbing that they almost defy imagination,” the assistant U.S. attorney general stated.
“We feel that we made one huge achievement and that is to move the conversation from whether these crimes happened to what are their consequences,” Israeli legal scholar Cochav Elkayam-Levy told JNS.
The prime minister tells Yaniv Hayun he deserves a “global medal of honor” and says Israel will join the probe into the apparent attempt to crash Flight FZ1073.
“This is what President Trump’s work is accomplishing: countries working together to benefit and protect one another,” the U.S. special envoy told JNS. “We witnessed miracles according to everyone involved.”
